limits for the submission of factual

Particular Market Situation Allegation
Section 504 of the Trade Preferences
Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act
by adding the concept of particular
market situation (PMS) for purposes of
CV under section 773(e) of the Act.42
Section 773(e) of the Act states that ‘‘if
a particular market situation exists such
that the cost of materials and fabrication
or other processing of any kind does not
accurately reflect the cost of production
in the ordinary course of trade, the
administering authority may use
another calculation methodology under
this subtitle or any other calculation
methodology.’’ When an interested
party submits a PMS allegation pursuant
to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce
will respond to such a submission
consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v).
If Commerce finds that a PMS exists
under section 773(e) of the Act, then it
will modify its dumping calculations
appropriately.
Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor
19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a deadline
for the submission of PMS allegations
and supporting factual information.
However, in order to administer section
773(e) of the Act, Commerce must
receive PMS allegations and supporting
factual information with enough time to
consider the submission. Thus, should
an interested party wish to submit a
PMS allegation and supporting new
factual information pursuant to section
773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later
than 20 days after submission of a
respondent’s initial section D
questionnaire response.
Extensions of Time Limits
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before the expiration of a
time limit established under 19 CFR
351.301, or as otherwise specified by the
Secretary. In general, an extension
request will be considered untimely if it

is filed after the expiration of the time
limit established under 19 CFR 351.301.
For submissions that are due from
multiple parties simultaneously, an
extension request will be considered
untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. ET
on the due date. Under certain
circumstances, we may elect to specify
a different time limit by which
extension requests will be considered
untimely for submissions which are due
from multiple parties simultaneously. In
such a case, we will inform parties in a
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. An extension
request must be made in a separate,
stand-alone submission; under limited
circumstances we will grant untimely
filed requests for the extension of time
limits. Parties should review Extension
of Time Limits; Final Rule, 78 FR 57790

submitting factual information in this
investigation.
Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.43
Parties must use the certification
formats provided in 19 CFR
351.303(g).44 Commerce intends to
reject factual submissions if the
submitting party does not comply with
the applicable revised certification
requirements.
Dated: April 17, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.
Appendix—Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers
sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) (Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) Number 7757–82–6) that is
anhydrous (i.e., containing no water),
regardless of purity, grade, color, production
method, and form of packaging, in which the
percentage of particles between 20 mesh and
100 mesh, based on U.S. mesh series screens,
ranges from 10–95% and the percentage of
particles finer than 100 mesh, based on U.S.
mesh series screens, ranges from 5–90%.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are specialty sodium sulfate
anhydrous products, which are products
whose particle distributions fall outside the
described ranges. Glauber’s salt
(Na2SO4·10H2O), also known as sodium
sulfate decahydrate, an intermediate product
in the production of sodium sulfate
anhydrous that has no known commercial
uses, is not included within the scope of the
investigation, although some end-users may
mistakenly refer to sodium sulfate anhydrous
as Glauber’s salt. Other forms of sodium
sulfate that are hydrous (i.e., containing
water) are also excluded from the scope of
the investigation.
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is classifiable under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheading 2833.11.5010.
Subject merchandise may also be classified
under 2833.11.1000, 2833.11.5050, and
2833.19.0000. Although the HTSUS
subheadings and CAS registry number are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the investigation is dispositive.

Commerce received a timely request, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
from Mid Continent Steel & Wire Inc.
(the petitioner) to conduct an
administrative review of this CVD order
with respect to 12 companies.2 Based
upon this request, on September 10,
2018, in accordance with section 751(a)
of the Act, Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of
administrative review for this CVD
order.3 On November 5, 2018, the
petitioner timely withdrew its request
for an administrative review for each of
the 12 companies.4
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested the review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation
of the requested review. As noted above,
the petitioner withdrew its request for
review by the 90-day deadline. No other
party requested an administrative
review. Accordingly, we are rescinding
the administrative review of the CVD
order on steel nails from Vietnam
covering the period January 1, 2017, to
December 31, 2017.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
CVDs on all appropriate entries at a rate
equal to the cash deposit of estimated
CVDs required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period January
1, 2017, to December 31, 2017, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
